Shoot, I remember seeing those nifty little boxes in the trucks when they were brand new.

I have worked on several SUV's and a few trucks that had the tool box and a couple of them had dual battery set ups from the factory. Ive got all the wiring and the bigger alternator form the Tahoe that I took apart at work.

Shouldn't be a battery tray there, only diesels got that as far as I know? The washer jug is underneath, there's honestly no room for a battery I think.

As expected I do have a battery tray that looks to be original to the truck (never used)

Well, Sierra is likely the first GMT400 in history to get telescopic steering. I need to clean and get a GMC horn cap.

Yeah, I don't know what happened there...It should flip back when I take it out. My van does that on occasion.

Well now that's pretty nifty. I always wondered how the telescopic steering worked.

Them telescopic wheels work great for road head, and don't we all love that?!?!?! Pull the wheel back, tilt down, and then she isn't done til you say she's done !!! They work great for those lazy girls too. Pull the wheel back and lay their boobs in the spokes so they can steer with their bewbies and put their make up on while driving. :waytogo:

Aahhhh... that's why your other thread disappeared. Victim of identity theft. I hate that steering wheel. Never liked it in my Vette. I put an aftermarket one in that was much better, and installed the stock one again when I sold the Vette.
